Bright Copper in color. Aroma of cinnamon with both some vanilla and mint. More sweetness and caramel as it opens. Beautiful toasted bread notes. Caramel early and coffee notes later on the tongue. Seems to be a good deal of Rye in the spice. Huge finish here which is the highlight of this Bourbon. Toasted oak, moment of Maple and dark chocolate. Couple drops of water bring out some more chocolate notes.
